Most backlink tools are lying to you.
Domain Rating is a vanity metric. Half the "DR 70" sites you're chasing are private blog networks, parked domains, or expired carcasses with inflated scores. The industry knows. The industry sells you the score anyway.
Linkjury delivers a verdict on every link — based on what actually matters.
Vendors won't say it. We will.
The four tools that dominate backlink data — you know which ones — were built to count links, not judge them. They sell you metrics everyone knows are gameable because half their customers are the people gaming them.
The marketplaces selling "high-authority guest posts" rarely audit their own inventory. The agencies buying them rarely audit either. The audit is your problem. Until now, you had to do it manually — one link at a time, with five browser tabs open and a gut feeling.
"DR is a number. A verdict is an answer."
What the jury sees.
Nine signals. One verdict.
Every link is judged against a public methodology. No black boxes. No vendor secrets. The standard is documented, versioned, and open to challenge.
-
01
Real organic traffic
Cross-checked against actual SERP visibility, not estimated visits inflated by one branded query.
-
02
Topical relevance
Semantic similarity between the linking page and your target niche — broad and specific.
-
03
PBN footprint score
IP/ASN clustering, hosting overlap, template fingerprints, AdSense and Analytics ID reuse, registration patterns.
-
04
Anchor profile health
Natural distribution check across branded, generic, exact-match, and partial-match anchors.
-
05
Outbound link hygiene
What the page links to is who it is. Casino, pharma, and PBN co-citation is contagious.
-
06
Domain stability
Age, hosting consistency, traffic trend, ownership history. Drops and resurrections leave fingerprints.
-
07
Indexation status
A link from a page Google won't index is a link that does nothing.
-
08
Placement context
Editorial body link, sidebar, footer, author bio. Position changes everything.
-
09
